Weekly Letta!! "Follow Up" and "It's the Load"

I’m writing this at a different Internet cafe store. where grammar doesn’t exist. oh Costa Rica. I will not miss this. haha.  (Mom did edit some of the grammar)

So there I was. Up against the Dark Lord. We had managed to sneak past the giant 3 headed ferocious guard dog, ironically named fluffy, beat a game of real life human chess, and now here we were face to face with evil himself. 

Now that I have your attention, I want you to know that I wrote this before reading Brens letter. Apparently harry potter was, and continues to be a big part of us. I’ve decided the greatest thing to happen to me this week was my general conference experience. 

After the morning session, we had to decide weather or not we were going to go and pick up our investigators. We had woken up early to go and get them and they had all turned us down. We came back with a broken spirit. We, the Lord, were offering them everything . Answers to questions. peace. Security. Advice. And they frankly wanted nothing. I really wanted a punching bag. I lost it. I just could no longer hold back the tears and the members could totally tell. My comp sat me down and reminded me of someone else who goes through open rejection on an hourly basis. Jesus Christ constantly tells us how we should act, what we should do. He provides us everything we could possibly need. Yet we still let him down. That gave me courage to stand up and do all I could to help each of them come unto Christ. The second we stood up, a member was behind us. He´d found us a member with a car who could drive us there. We loaded up and weren´t going to take no for an answer. We had to beg and push em. One didn´t want to go because he was embarrassed by his shoes. but God totally helped us. We all in a very literal way squished into the car. 9 of us. 5 seats. And my comp and I just had to laugh in the trunk with 2 kids on our laps. We helped 6 souls come to church. With 20 minutes to spare. The whole thing was a miracle. Members gave me hand hugs and pep talks. They reminded me that it was Satan who wanted to see me miserable. I had just learned a very important lesson.  Two of the conference talks I had just listened to came to mind. 1-“follow up”.  It´s important to endure and be strong. 

2- it´s the load that helps us keep going. I truly will not find happiness without the load. God speaks to us. God speaks to me. Great miracles do not produce great faith. Great faith allows us to see great miracles. The trials, the wind, will come-don´t be surprised. STAND STRONG. 

Anyways. That’s about it. I know the church is true. I love you all. I love my family. mom, dad, bren, ry, con. Your all my greatest cheerleaders and for that, I thank you. 

Love,

Meg
